Side is ok, places to eat and nice scenery.

I went about 10 years ago and it was very much a German tourist resort so in smaller places they spoke german and turkish not english. It was very nice and the people were so friendly.

No 18-30s in sight, I went years ago though things could have changed!!

emc - a friend (early thirties) has recently returned from her hols in Turkey with a few other girls and is raving about how wonderful it was in Dalyan (quieter and more relaxed than other parts).


Olu Deniz apparently too commercial (you can't get a proper Turkish tea...), too many Brits (!) and not relaxing at all.


good luck

Just like to give another recommendation for Dalyan. I went about 4 years ago and it was fantastic. Loads of things to do but also very pretty and relaxed.

PM me if you'd like to know the name of the hotel and I'll have a search for it. Can also definitely recommend the restaurants we ate in.

Hello, I agree that the Turquoise Coast is gorgeous - Kalkan & Kas in particular. They're not really beach resorts - more set around the harbours, but there are 'beach clubs' which sound naff, but are lovely - hotels on the edge of the cliffs with loungers on platforms cut into the cliffs and ladders directly down into the deep sea. You can take some fantastic boat trips, and the choice and quality of restaurants is great too.


I've been several times, and am going (again) in October - can't wait!! By the way, there is an article in the Sunday Times Travel Magazine (june or july issue - not sure which) on The Turquise Coast.


Happy Holidays!

I'm booking to go to Turkey in September, found this which seems to be the winner at the mo - ?650 11 nights all inclusive

Is in Sarigerme which is a village outside Marmaris so quiet enough with local bars and restaurants or a cab ride to Marmaris if you fancy something livelier

Does Istanbul count as a 'resort'? It is a great city - and you can travel out to the islands for some tranquil time.


I'm thinking about travelling in the eastern parts of Turkey - there are some amazing unexplored places I've been looking into - but again not exactly what you'd call resorts.

I went to Hisaranou (near Olu Deniz) a few years ago and I'd agree with what katie1997 said - underwhelming

This place has been well recorded for having a prolific rapist on a motorbike and thus far has not been brought to book

because Turkish law thinks its o.k to treat women like s..t.

Give it a miss.

    • Andy is an absolute star. Have used him for years and he’s become a hugely trusted and valued friend as well as handyman. Always willing to go the extra mile and doesn’t cut corners, but great on pricing. Can’t recommend enough.
    • Surely you are still covered under these circumstances even if you don't have the physical licence? I can't believe you would be prevented from driving? That would be a ridiculous system. I don't recall any delays   when mine was renewed. Why would their medical department be involved if you have no medical issues? Could someone have made some admin mistake somewhere along the line?
    • Does anyone have the same problem.  I am 79 and have sent my licence renewal form to the DVLA on the 21st October 20 which they have received. I have just received a letter from them them dated 22 December 2025 today saying my licence is with their Drivers Medal Department and will be processed as soon as possible. This follows my telephone call to them after three weeks  from the October date as I had not received my licence back as per their time frame. I also followed this up mid December after finally getting through but did not get any confirmation as to what the situation was. Is this normal practice? On the 7 January 2026 I will be unable to drive as my licence has not been sent back. I have no medical issues and meet all the requirements with no problem as per previous renewals in fact nothing has changed health wise.Their the letter states if they need any more details from me, they will contact me directly. Why has it taken 2 and a half months get get this far? Is this some sort of ploy to get older drivers to finally give up their driving by making life difficult as possible.  Has anyone else experienced this. Read Medical not Medal.
    • You're being a little disingenuous here. It is simply not true that "the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum" because: -> the area the development is in isn't 2/3 storeys maximum today - as evidenced by the school on the lot adjoining the development to the south, as well as the similarly-sized buildings to the north and east.  -> the SPG doesn't preclude this type of development anyway. This "genie in a bottle" stuff is desperate barrel-scraping. Now you're raising the spectre of a 9 storey building on the Gibbs & Dandy site (the chance would be a fine thing) but also arguing Southwark is too slow to approve things and opposed to development more than 2-3 storeys!
